Thanks for the answer Mark :) I have started to fork the Tomcat to implement a Java EE Web Profile, called Web Enterprise Server :)
My reasons: 1* Without touching source code it is impossible to implement such a product. 2* I also do not like code conventions used in Tomcat (for example , listener-observer model.). I will implement an interfaces and use interfaces on all core modules instead of using implementation classes. 3* I do no like to build it via complex ant scripts. I will create a maven module for each of the projects. I think that each current project will provide one/two modules.
